All the rage- Halo Top!

August 5, 2016

There are times when I have eaten healthy consistently and the mood for a cheat strikes me.  If you are normally a healthy eater, a cheat can carry some guilt.  I know it does for me.  Recently, I have discovered an option that encourages a little less guilt, but doesn’t sacrifice any taste!  Sounds unreal, right?!

 

I kept hearing this name… Halo Top.  I would hear about it at the gym, see it on Instagram, but what is this Halo Top product?

Ice Cream 2

 

Halo Top is a light ice cream!  It allows a cheat to be much less of a blow to your healthy diet.  Let’s look into a comparison!

It is quite amazing that it really doesn’t taste bad when you see the lack of sugar and fat.  So of course the wheels start spinning… How do I jazz this up and continue to keep the calories low?  Add PB2!

Ice Cream 3

PB2 is a great product that gives you a peanut butter taste, but is only 45 calories for 2 Tbsp VS. 210 calories for 2 Tbsp of real peanut butter.

Here is my recipe!

1/2 cup of Vanilla Bean Halo Top

1 Tbsp PB2

1 Tbsp chopped nuts

Ice Cream 1

And this is my finished product!

What is your nutrition make up here with this cheat?

Calories: ~127.5

Protein:  ~10 g

Fat: ~6.75 g (2.25 g sat.)

Carbs:  ~16 g (5 g sugar)

Not too bad when comparing to real ice cream!  And always looking for ways to boost that protein intake.  Even in my cheats!

I hope this helps you control your cheat day a little better by keeping calories lower and protein higher in your treat!
